Review 7: ED Decision Making

Safety is an important element for a Remote pilot to consider prior to operating an unmanned aircraft system. To prevent the final “link” in the accident chain, a Remote pilot must consider which methodology?

• Crew Resource Management.

• Safety management system.

• Risk management

Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision-making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?

• Application of stress management and risk element procedures.

• Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

• The mental process of analyzing all information in a particular situation and making a timely decision on what action to take.

A.SMS plan.

B.Weekly meetings.

C.Establishing an operational procedure guideline.

A local TV station has hired a remote pilot to operate their small UA to cover breaking news stories. The remote pilot has had multiple near misses with obstacles on the ground and two small UAS accidents. What would be a solution for the news station to improve their operating safety culture?

A.The news station should implement a policy of no more than five crashes/incidents within 6 months.

B.The news station does not need to make any changes; there are times that an accident is unavoidable.

C.The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety.
